weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy
they're explicitly giving up. "It wasn't working so we quit" that's the message

There are some Democrats who seem to need bipartisanship like a drug. They're hooked on deal-making with Republicans even though they'll get fucked over in the end. And a shutdown with no deals is like withdrawal. Caving on a shitty deal just gets them their next fix
okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:
1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

Joe Scarborough is totally irrelevant. Who even asked for this?
After hinting at it on the air, Joe Scarborough told reporters today that he is trying to arrange a "peacemaking lunch" between Jonathan Greenblatt and Zohran Mamdani -- which would include him and Al Sharpton.

I struggle to understand why outlets feel the need to keep commissioning and writing pieces like this. There is no evidence that the underlying sociological and political phenomenon has changed. But many liberals still refuse to believe the conclusions
I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters.
We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

We should not be having a debate about Nazi symbolism tattooed on the potentially top ticket Democrat in Maine. The fact we are even willing to entertain it shows desperation within the Party, not dedication, and how far we have fallen from rational thought.

It’s infuriating that the Dems haven’t learned the big lesson that running to the right doesn’t help them at all
It is the most DNC thing imaginable that the party ran to the right on immigration because that's what conservatives wanted, deported an inhumane amount of people, didn't get "credit" for that inhumanity, and then lost the election in historic fashion with a reputation for doing nothing.
Yeah this makes me annoyed not because I am a grand defender of Biden's record on the border (I am not), but there is this utterly false perception that the Biden admin did nothing. That could not be further from the truth. The Biden admin carried out over 3 million repatriations in 4 years.
